A Brand New story of George Washington.

When George Washington was a
small boy and about the time he car
ried on his numbering operations In his
fathers orchard he heard the old gentle
man say he wished to get q good bird
dog.
Shortly after that George succeeded
In stealing q common yellow dog OF a
neighbor. and knowing the governor
was not well posted on dogs offered TO
sell il TO him for fifty cents with which
TO go to the circus.

THE TRUE LIFE.

The working life is the life Of peace,
The words OF the wise are golden;
And down the line Of three hundred
Comes the truth Of these words grown
olden.
Not the days that are passed amid songs
and flowers
In dreamy, inactive leisure.
But the days that are strong with the
stress Of toll
Are those OF the truest pleasure.
The eyes that look straight toward God
and heaven,
Nor turn from the path Of duty,
Are the eyes that see, In this changeful
world,
The sights of the truest beauty.
Who lives for earth and for self alone
Must find his enjoyments shallow,
while h. who lives but for God and
right
Finds something each day to hallow.
He who is hound by the yoke Of love,
And rcgalns his freedom never,
Has his perfect liberty here on earth,
And he shall he free forever.
o. life is short, and Its skies sometimes
Ar. darkrnel with care and sorrow,
But the loyal-hearted, the brave Of soul,
Has always n glad tomorrow.
Then let u patiently bear the cross,
Our service and love confesslng;
For the life OF labor and faith and love
Is the only life Of blessing.

THE PEPPERMINT CROP.
An Account Of . Unique Industry Of wayne
County, New York.

Along the banks Of I G Garnagua
River, which flows through the southern
portion OF Wayne County may be seen
In the Summer season large fields Of
green-colored plants about eight inc es
In height, extending over an extern I've
area.
To a botanist msntla peperitd is the
name by which II Is known, but to the
world in general 1t is peppermint
l. this comparatively small area
seven-eighths ofall the peppermint In the
world is raised. The low, mucky land Is
ploughed In the Spring, II is then laid
of in burrows eighteen incnes apart, and
sets, portions OF old plants, are planted
closely together In the row. This is done
early in April.
The roots are transplanted every other
year. 1t takes about eight square sods
Of roots as they lie upon tn ground to
plant an acre. The roots that are
planted this year after the crop Is
is gathered. will be transplanted in every
other row for next years crop.
The first years crop Ia always the
bes:, because the plant is then irpest
from weeds. Usually they ere allowed
10 run only two years, after which the
ground is ploughed under. When the
plants have grown 70 about two and u
half feet in height they ripen.
The harvest begins usually In the last
of August. II Is cut like clover. with a
cradle, and raked into cocks, when IL is
allowed to wilt a little before II is taken
TO the dislilIery.
The process OF distillation continues
until the last OF October. The plant is
brought from the fields In large wagons
and tightly packed In steam-tight watts.
The steam is let into the bottom Of the
vat, and the oil from the plants thus
volatllized.

The average crop per year In Wayne
County is between $1,000 and 100000
pounds, and yields on ali average about
twenty pounds to the acre In a good
season,

Sweeping q Room.

II is well TO have sweeping covers OF un.

All chairs. ottomans, light tables, ETC.,
should be busted and set in the hall OF

and draperies so that they will clear the
floor. Have rugs or mats removed first,
and shaken in the open air.
Shut the doors and raise the windows,
unless the weather should be exception
ally cold. In that case the air ng may
be deferred until the sweeping is finished.
Sweep from one side Of the room, cav
ing a space into which to push the furni-
|ture, as that opposes the progress of the
broom. Leave nothing unmoved that
can be moved, and see that no corner is
allowed to harbor dust or fluff.
Drive the dust into the middle Of the
room, gather into a dustpan, and bestov
at once into the fire. Let the dust settle
thoroughly before "setting to rights " ia

Incident Of . Trip OF . River Steamboat.
At a landing below Baton Rouge about
thirty colored people came aboard the

Among them was a likely young wo-
man with whom one OF the colored
r~oustahouts at once fell in love. We all

during the afternoon, and finally a gen.
tleman from Illinois said:
IL do Z see any reason why they
shouldn't marry"
"Dt have we a clergyman aboardf"
Queried another.
A third gentleman replied that chad,
and he went of and hunted up q man
wearing spectacles and a choker, and In
formed him that his services would soon
be- r quired.
The man from Illinois went down to
the colored woman and asked II she
thought the roustabout would make a
good husband, aud she replied In the
Affirmative. He went over To the man,
and he owned up that he was dead gone.
The couple were at onc brought up

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
William McCausland Well Known
Stock Dealer Murdered For
His Money.

Pittsburg Post II inst
William McCausland, a stock
dealer, living in Allegheny City,
was murdered Saturday morning on
the edge of Greene county not far
from the Monongahela river, and
near McCann's Ferry. Mr. McCaus-
land had gone up the river on the
steamer James G. Blaine, to buy $50
head of sheep, as he told the captain
Of the Blaine. He got off the boat
at McCann's landing and started to
walk to Daniel Stinson's, where he
had left his horse about a week be-
fore. He was found dead about a
mile and a half back of McCann' s
with one bullet hole through his
head and another through his heart.
His pockets were rifled, but his own
revolver was left in his pocket, fully
loaded, while another revolver bear
ing the initials 81. T. CO was found
near him with two chambers empty.
There is no doubt that it was a case
of murder for robbery.
The murder occurred near stone
bridge between McCann's Ferry and
Pierceville. Mr.. Frank Ewart met
Mr.. McCausland about 200 yards
from the place a few moments before
the murder occurred and heard the
shots fired, but thought nothing of
Of them. Sylvanus AFFORD, a mer-
chant in that vicinity, came along
the road a few moments later and
discovered the body. Upon examin-
alton he found life was not extinct,
but the unfortunate man expired in
a short time without having been
able to utter word.
Squire Carmichels held an in
quest, the verdict being that Mr..
McCausland was murdered by some
person unknown. The affair caused
great excitement, and 100 men start
ed out to look for the murderer. 1t
is believed that he had lain in wait
for his victim, knowing he was to
pass there with large sum of money.
The pocket books turned inside out,
some blank checks and other papers
were found about Is yards from the
body.
Mrs. McCausland, wife of the
murdered man, was found at her
residence. No. 40 West Market street,
Allegheny, last evening by report

her husbands death and was so COM
pletely prostrated with grief that

If there is any issue before the
American people which makes a
substantial basis for a new party,
we believe it is expressed in the
phrase of three words "America for
Americans"
The conditions necessary to the
formation of new party do not
arise once in a generation. A new
party cannot arise without the issue,
and such an issue as will take hold
of the hearts of the people and move
the masses.
The issue which is presented in
the platform, america for America,"
is not new. 1t is not forced. 1t
springs out of a condition of things
that appeals to the patriotic spirit
of our whole population. 1t
is ripe for q revolution. 1t needs
only to be presented to be accepted
by the masses. 1t is right. 1t is
expedient. 1t is urgent.
When the Know Nothing party
took up this issue, it was only lit
tie premature. The country was
less thickly populated. The public
lands were begging in the markets
There was a universal desire to see
the country grow, and immigration
was not so large as now.
But this thing of making America
a refuge for the outcasts of every
nation on earth; Of filling our pris
ons and pauper houses with the re
fuse of Europe; and selling our chill
dren's birth-right for song, besid,
imperiling our institutions by al
uneducated, un-American element
who are not only bred under differ
ent systems of government, but ar,
without patriotism or appreciation
for our system, and who by force o
numbers and the power of the ballot
are gradually undermining our re
publican institutions-when THU
changed condition stares us in TIL,
face, is it not time for Americans
while the power is still left, to asser
themselves, and declare against al
unrestricted immigration?
We do not know that it is neces
sary that this issue be made through
a new party. We think it rather ;
splendid opportunity for one of TIN
existing parties to take advantage
of the situation and plant itsel
squarely on the platform of "Ameri
ca for Americans" The part,
which does this will win. Prohibi
ton, the labor questions, the tarif
issue, are not to be compared, il
winning qualities with the issue pre-
sented in the single plank, "Americ.
for Americans.
